GREY CUP (Sunday November 23rd at Toronto - 54,661)
EDMONTON ESKIMOS 48, HAMILTON TIGER-CATS 10 - The Edmonton Eskimos continued the dominance they showed in the late 1970s into a new decade, reaching the Grey Cup final for the fourth consecutive year. The game proved to be merely a formality. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats were no match for the Eskimos, who people were beginning to label the best Canadian football team ever. The margin of victory was the largest since Queen’s University shut out the Regina Roughriders 54-0 in 1923. The 48 points scored by the Eskimos were the most by one team at the Grey Cup since the 1956 Eskimos scored 50. Statistics were just as one-sided as the scoreboard. The Ticats were limited to 12 first downs and 201 yards in total offence, compared to 31 first downs and 606 yards for the Eskimos. Warren Moon, ending his first season as a starter in the CFL, completed 21 of 33 passes for 398 yards. He connected on a couple of long passing plays in the first half; a 55-yard completion to Danny Buggs to the Hamilton goal line setting up Jim Germany’s first of his two touchdowns, and a 75-yard play with Brian Kelly for a touchdown. Tom Scott caught 12 passes for 174 yards. His three touchdown receptions set a Grey Cup record. Scott joined Hamilton’s Ross Craig (1913), Toronto’s Red Storey (1938) and Edmonton’s Jackie Parker (1956) are the only players to score three majors in a Grey Cup game. In total, 21 records were set or extended by the Eskimos and Ticats in 1980, and five were tied. Many of the Ticats were talking the talk leading up to the game but couldn’t back up their words. Hamilton running back Obie Graves predicted he would rush for 200 yards against the Eskimos but only managed 67. No player rushed for 100 yards against the Eskimos ‘Crude’ defence the entire season. Graves returned seven kick offs in the game, shattering the previous Grey Cup record of four. All of Hamilton’s points came off the foot of kicker Bernie Ruoff, who booted three field goals and missed on another attempt for a single. Edmonton’s Dave Cutler split the uprights twice and added six converts. The three-peat was the fourth in Grey Cup history, as these Eskimos matched the Eskimos’ string in 1954 to 1956. The University of Toronto (1909-1911) and Queen’s (1922-1924) were the others.
NOTES: Referee Don Barker called the game with four seconds remaining, as jubilant fans had by that point stormed the playing field...Though Eskimo fans cherish this as Edmonton's most dominating triumph and their third consecutive of a record five straight Grey Cup victories, the 1980 game was hardly a classic; it remains one of the biggest blowouts in CFL championship history. The only larger margin of victory in a Grey Cup game came in 1923 in the 11th Grey Cup, when Queen's University blanked the Regina Rugby Club 54–0...As of 2024, the 1980 game is the most recent Grey Cup in which one team did not score a touchdown. All the Tiger-Cats' points were scored by kicker Bernie Ruoff.

The Eastern and Western Football Conferences, which had carried on as separate and autonomous entities since the founding of the CFL in 1958, agreed to a full merger prior to the start of the 1981 season. With the merger, the Eastern and Western Football Conferences were dissolved and renamed as the East and West Divisions. The merger authorized the CFL to have full authority over decisions, including the adoption of a full interlocking schedule for both divisions. All nine teams played each other twice, once home and once away, regardless of their affiliated division. With the exception of six seasons; the three seasons of the CFL's U.S. expansion era from 1993 to 1995 and three seasons during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2021 to 2023, the League's teams played at least one game home and one away versus every other team in the League since the 1981 season. In addition, the merger set up the CFL Board of Governors and the CFL Management Council to replace the Executive Committee and the General Managers Committee. After the 1980 season, after owning the team for over ten years, Montreal owner Sam Berger retired and sold the team to Nelson Skalbania, who brought in high priced NFL talent who did not adapt to the Canadian game, bringing a terrible losing season to Montreal (they did, however, make the playoffs due to the weak division that year), and with it, a loss of fan support, and he lost money and because of the high priced talent
Berger retired and sold the team to Nelson Skalbania, who brought in high priced NFL talent who did not adapt to the Canadian game, bringing a terrible losing season to Montreal (they did, however, make the playoffs due to the weak division that year), and with it, a loss of fan support, and he lost money and because of the high priced talent he bankrupted the team. So the team folded after the season, but a year later, a new team, the Montreal Concordes, owned by Expos owner Charles Bronfman, took over the team's players and history. The East was so weak this season that the Calgary Stampeders, despite being the West's fifth place team, finished with a better record than the second place Ottawa Rough Riders. Ottawa nevertheless upset the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and qualified for the Grey Cup despite winning only five games in the regular season finishing seventh overall. The ensuing controversy over having a 5–11 team playing in the Grey Cup played a large part in eventually persuading the league to implement a cross-over rule permitting a fourth place team in one division to qualify for the playoffs in place of a third place team in the other division with a weaker record. Nevertheless, the current rule makes no provision to allow a fifth place team to make the playoffs even if its record is better than that of the second place team in the other division, which occurred in 2018.

An Unlikely Story: How the 1981 Ottawa Rough Riders Just Missed a Miracle
​
The city of Ottawa's history with football goes back to 1876. The Ottawa Rough Riders were historic. For Howie Mooney, they were the first team he remembers cheering for back in the 1960s. Life back then was a tremendous football party. From 1960 to 1976, the team appeared in six Grey Cup games, winning five. In late 1996, the team and the franchise folded. Ottawa had no football for a few years. The Renegades came to town for a brief visit from 2002 to 2008. Then the RedBlacks brought the game back to Canada's Capital in 2014. They won the Grey Cup in 2016. That forty year period between Grey Cups was filled with a few ups and many downs. Before 2016, the only sniff Ottawa football fans had of a national championship was in 1981. That team took fans on a parade of despair until they began to put things together late in the season. Their short period of success saw them defeat the favoured Montreal Alouettes in the East semi-final and then they went into Hamilton for the East final. Ottawa was a huge underdog. Remarkably, they beat the Tiger-Cats and advanced to the Grey Cup against the three-time champion and 22 1/2 point favourite Edmonton Eskimos. The Riders competed and came oh so close to the most improbable victory. It was a Cinderella story...until the clock struck 12. It was truly an unlikely story.

GREY CUP (Sunday November 22nd at Montreal - 52,478
EDMONTON ESKIMOS 26, OTTAWA ROUGH RIDERS 23 - It wasn’t supposed to be this close. The Edmonton Eskimos were seeking an unprecedented fourth straight Grey Cup title, winners of a league record 14 regular season games. Their opponents were the Ottawa Rough Riders -- perhaps the worst team in CFL history to make a Grey Cup final -- winners of just five regular season games. The Eskimos entered the game as 22½ -point favourites. But someone forgot to tell the club from Ottawa. Led by rookie quarterback J.C. Watts, the Riders jumped to a surprising 20-1 advantage at halftime in the freezing temperature of Montreal’s Olympic Stadium. A pair of 34 and 37-yard field goals by Gerry Organ in the game’s opening 10 minutes gave the Riders their initial lead. Ottawa continued its assault late in the first quarter when Rick Sowieta intercepted a poor throw by Edmonton quarterback Warren Moon, helping to set up a one-yard touchdown run by Jim Reid. Those who thought Ottawa’s 13-0 lead was an anomaly continued to be amazed in the second quarter. Moon was intercepted again, this time by John Glassford, helping to set up Sam Platt’s 14-yard touchdown run. Moon was lifted for a short period in favour of Tom Wilkinson, playing in his final CFL game. Once his composure was regained, Moon was sent back on the field and jump started the Edmonton offence in the second half. Jim Germany scored Edmonton’s initial touchdown, scoring on a two-yard run. It helped that Ottawa began to self-destruct. A Watts fumble was recovered by Dale Potter, putting the Eskimos on Ottawa’s three-yard line. Four plays later, Moon scored on a goal-line sneak. Moon, however, had a costly fumble on his own in the fourth quarter, setting up Organ’s 28-yard field goal to put Ottawa in front by eight. But Moon made up for this gaffe with another goal-line touchdown with less than five minutes remaining. A successful pass to Marco Cynear for a two-point convert tied the score, setting up some late-game dramatics. With three seconds left in regulation, veteran place kicker Dave Cutler booted a 27-yard field goal to send the Eskimos to the record books. Cutler had missed from 24 yards out in the first half. It marked the last game for Ottawa’s Tony Gabriel in his Hall of Fame career. Gabriel played the final with an injured left knee. Outstanding Offensive Player: J.C.

After the 1981 season, the Montreal Alouettes folded. However, one day later in 1982 the CFL granted the city of Montreal a new franchise called the Concordes, which assumed the Alouettes' history and player contracts. The 1982 Grey Cup game between the Edmonton Eskimos and the Toronto Argonauts attracted 7,862,000 television viewers, the largest television audience in the history of Canadian television. NBC broadcast four CFL games in the United States over three weeks during the 1982 NFL players' strike. Alcoholic beverages were sold at all CFL venues for the first time, after the Ontarian Legislature voted to lift the province's long-standing prohibition on alcohol at outdoor stadia shortly before the season began. On May 13, 1982, Maritime Professional Football Club Ltd. was granted a conditional expansion franchise by the Canadian Football League's board of governors with unanimous approval. The team was to pay a $1.5 million expansion fee by May 1, 1983 and could begin play in 1984 if a suitable 30,000 seat stadium were built in time for the league opener that year. The ownership group was led by John Donoval, a Mississauga, Ontario truck executive, and J. I. Albrecht, former general manager of the Montreal Alouettes. On November 3, 1982, the team name Atlantic Schooners was officially announced.

GREY CUP (Sunday November 28th at Toronto - 54,741)
EDMONTON ESKIMOS 32, TORONTO ARGONAUTS 16 - The road to an unprecedented sixth straight Grey Cup appearance and fifth consecutive title wasn’t easy for the Edmonton Eskimos, who began the regular season 3-5 and were in jeopardy of missing the playoffs altogether. But the greatest football dynasty in Canadian history continued as the Eskimos reeled off 10 straight wins, including a historic victory over the upstart Toronto Argonauts in the national final. Despite the Argos having the home field advantage, it was Edmonton who struck first when Dave Cutler booted the first of his four field goals. But the Exhibition Stadium crowd got in a frenzy minutes later when Toronto’s Emanuel Tolbert took a short swing pass and turned it into an 84-yard touchdown. The defending champs regained the lead on the opening play in the second quarter when Warren Moon rolled to his left and hit Brian Kelly with a 16-yard touchdown pass. But Toronto struck again when Terry Greer made a 10-yard score of his own. The savvy Eskimos erased this deficit and took control of the game. Moon connected with Kelly again, this time for a 41-yard touchdown. Edmonton added another field goal to take a 20-14 advantage into halftime. The Argos avoided disaster, at least temporarily, in the third quarter when Edmonton’s Jim Germany fumbled the ball on the Toronto seven-yard line. But on the following play, Condredge Holloway passed to Cedric Minter who reached the Toronto 33 only to get stripped of the ball by Gary Hayes. Dan Kepley recovered the ball for Edmonton. Nine plays later, Neil Lumsden scored on a one-yard touchdown run which gave the Eskimos a 26-14 lead. It proved to be too much for the Argos to overcome. Edmonton added two field goals in the final quarter, while Toronto received a safety. Moon was named the game’s top player. He completed 21 of 33 passes for 319 yards despite having to throw in the freezing rain. Even though they lost, the season was an overwhelming success for the Argos, who finished with just two wins the previous year. They had a 9-6 record during the 1982 regular season. It marked Hugh Campbell’s final game as head coach of the Eskimos. Campbell accepted a job with the Los Angeles Express of the new United States Football League. The Eskimos were not well rested heading into the game, as alarms at their Toronto hotel rang all night.

The CFL re-signed with Carling O'Keefe Breweries to another record television contract worth $33 million to cover a three-year period from 1983 to 1986…The BC Lions opened their new stadium, BC Place this season, and with it, introduced shorter endzones to its stadium (20 yards in length as opposed to the then-standard 25 yards). This was because the floor of the stadium was too short to accommodate the 25 yard endzones; the shorter endzone length would become standard in the CFL three years later, in 1986…The league's attendance levels reached an all-time high for all football games with 2,856,031. The Grey Cup game between the Toronto Argonauts and the BC Lions was played in front of 59,345 football fans at BC Place Stadium (the first lion gross gate)…In addition, CBC, CTV and Radio-Canada's coverage of the Grey Cup game attracted the largest viewing audience in television history for a Canadian sports program with 8,118,000…The Toronto Argonauts won their first Grey Cup Championship since 1952. This would be the last season all three of the CFL's Ontario-based teams qualified for the playoffs until 2015… On June 16, 1983, Maritime Professional Football Club Ltd. withdrew their application for a franchise (Atlantic Schooners) and refunded season ticket deposits. The ownership group's withdrawal came one day before the league deadline because owner John Donoval believed that a withdrawal rather than league rejection would make re-applying for a franchise easier. However, another franchise application never came to fruition…Terry Greer set a pro football record for most receiving yards with 2,003.

GREY CUP (Sunday November 27th at Vancouver - 59,345)
TORONTO ARGONAUTS 18, BRITISH COLUMBIA LIONS 17 - It was the end of an era for a number of different reasons. For the first time in seven Grey Cups, the Edmonton Eskimos were not at the game. It also marked the first time weather was not a factor, as the final was held indoors for the first time at the new B.C. Place Stadium in Vancouver. Most notably, however, 1983 marked the end of one of the longest droughts in the history of the trophy. The Toronto Argonauts, winners of a record 10 Grey Cups, had not sipped from the silver chalice since 1952. The Argos faced a difficult task. Not only were they opposing the B.C. Lions with a partisan crowd behind them, but Toronto's star quarterback Condredge Holloway was battling the flu. He did manage, however, to complete a 14-yard touchdown toss to Jan Carinci in the second quarter. Trailing 17-7, Toronto coach Bob O'Billovich elected to go with Joe Barnes at pivot in the second half. Slowly Barnes got the Argos offence
going, only to be negated when Hank llesic missed on three field goals. Two were good for singles, however, as Toronto cut its deficit to eight. When llesic finally split the uprights on a 43-yard attempt in the fourth quarter, it put the Argos within striking distance. Then with four minutes remaining, Barnes executed one of the most important drives in Argonauts history. He hit Paul Pearson with a pass at the B.C. 45, but the ball popped loose into the air. It was another famed Argo bounce, as Emanuel Tolbert caught the ball to keep the drive alive. Barnes went to work again, throwing to Tolbert at the B.C. 25 and another pass to Pearson on the three. With 2:44 left in regulation, Barnes flipped to Cedric Minter in the end zone, giving the Boatmen their initial lead of the game. But the Argos failed on the two-point attempt. Leading by one, Toronto forced B.C. to punt on its next possession, allowing the Argos to run out most of the clock. B.C.'s Roy Dewalt had one last chance to throw a Hail Mary pass on the final play, but his prayer wasn't answer, as long suffering Argos fans went into the streets in jubilation. B.C. scored its points on touchdown passes by Dewalt to Mervyn Fernandez and John Henry White. Lui Passaglia also kicked a 31-yard field goal. Outstanding Offensive Player: Joe Barnes, QB, Toronto; Outstanding Defensive Player: Carl Brazley, DB, Toronto; Outstanding Canadian: Rick Klassen, DT, B.C.

GREY CUP (Sunday November 18th at Edmonton - 60,081)
WINNIPEG BLUE BOMBERS 47, HAMILTON TIGER-CATS 17 - It was the 1960s all over again as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers battled the Hamilton Tiger-Cats one again for the Grey Cup. For Bombers fans, it was a long time coming, having not celebrated a national championship since 1962. Most of the experts believed this was a mismatch on paper, and they turned out to be correct. But not before the Ticats showed signs of an upset as Hamilton jumped to a 14-3 first quarter lead. Winnipeg quarterback Tom Clements was ineffective in the opening 15 minutes, getting picked off two times by Felix Wright and Mark Streeter. Both interceptions led to Hamilton scores. Former Bombers pivot Dieter Brock scored on a 15-yard scamper and completed a seven-yard pass to Rocky DiPietro for the other major. But the Bombers were not out of it by a long shot. They got their initial points on a 25-yard field goal by Trevor Kennerd to close out the opening quarter, then went on to score 27 points in the second quarter to establish a new Grey Cup record. Clements improved as the game wore on, completing a 12-yard touchdown pass to Joe Poplawski to put Winnipeg in the lead for good. Clements played the game with a rib injury. The turning point of the game came 2:26 before halftime when Brock was levelled by Winnipeg linebacker Tyrone Jones. The ball was knocked loose and nose tackle Stan Mikawos picked up a loose football and ran 22 yards for a touchdown. This put the Bombers in front 24-17. Willard Reaves, the CFL Most Outstanding Player, scored a pair of touchdowns on three-yard runs. His action was limited due to an injured shoulder but did rush for 64 yards. Winnipeg backup quarterback John Hufnagel completed a four-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Boyd in the fourth quarter to complete the rout. Bombers cornerback David Shaw intercepted a Brock pass in the second quarter, returning the ball 26 yards to the Hamilton 28 to help set up one of Reaves’ scores. Bernie Ruoff booted a 20-yard field goal for Hamilton in the second quarter. Kennerd kicked four field goals for Winnipeg. Winnipeg scored 44 unanswered points, shutting out the Ticats in the final 30 minutes. It was the first time the Grey Cup was held in Edmonton. It was a chilly one as the game time temperature was minus-10 degrees.
